My dear Mrs. Harrison:-

I have read your protest against the treatment of prisoners with interest. Will you please give me the particulars as to the charge that a ball and chain has been placed around the necks of some of the convicts? I assure you that this will have my careful consideration.

Thanking you very much for your kind words,

Yours truly,
